About Me

Hi everyone! I set up this account primarily to boost my Ao3 fanfiction (my account is here), but I also plan to use it for metas, ship headcanons, and other stuff.

Here’s my (brief-ish) BYF:

I am proship, profiction, and anti harrassment.

I am pro all good faith identities, and anti LGBTQ+ exclusionism.

Conservatives, TERFs and other radfems, MAPs (I am pro-para but anti contact, and skeptical of their online community), pro-contact paraphilia blogs in general, antis, TransID, Marxist-Leninists, people who spout anti-voting rhetoric, people who don’t tag their character or ship hate, bigots (including transandrophobes), abuse apologists, uncritically pro AI people, and anyone who sends rape or violence threats or suibait to other users will be blocked on sight.

I may also block you for any reason whatsoever, whether that’s because you are cluttering my dash with content I don’t want or because you’re not tagging something I want to avoid.

Please do not tag me in donation posts or send me donation messages.

Any fanart I reblog will either be reblogged with a description or tagged #undescribed. I tag posts with bold text or fonts or keyboard smashes as well if I can catch them (#bold text #font #keyboard smash in case you are wondering). Gifs with flashing will be tagged #tw flashing.

Please let me know if there’s anything you need me to tag. (Exception: I will not tag queer as “q slur”.)

I mostly post in English (as that is my first language and the only one I feel 100% fluent in) but I am semi-fluent in Spanish (particularly the written aspects rather than verbal conversations) and so I will try to reply to Spanish comments/DMs/etc. in that language. Any other language and I will likely just put it through Google Translate and respond in English, sorry.

I do not believe in making specific callout posts.

Please do not feed my work into large, for-profit, corporate AI models (like ChatGPT or Grok or Copilot). Open source AIs and personally created AIs are fine as long as you credit all artists whose work you train on. Any other derivative work of my own fanworks is also totally fine provided you give credit.

I don’t have a ko-fi or take commissions. Instead of trying to pay me, I’d recommend that you donate to my friend Marshy who is having some money shortages right now. His posts help keep me stable in this website’s turbulent climate, so by paying him you are also helping me. You can find his ko-fi here.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way…my current special interest is ATLA. I’m also a big fan of the HTTYD books (not movies), Wicked, Six of Crows, and some other stuff. Most of my content will be ATLA, though.

As a multishipper, I like a lot of contradictory pairings. Here’s an admittedly non-exhaustive list of ATLA ships I currently like: Jinko, Zutara, Zukka, Zukki, Zukaang, Sukka, Yukka, Mailee, Bakoda, Jetko, Teoaang, Taang, Zutaraang, and Korrasami.

(As far as non-ATLA ships go, I am a permanent fan of Percabeth, Everlark, Kanej, Peraltiago, Gelphie, Fiyeraba, Gliyeraba, and more.)

My NOTPs: pretty much all adult/minor ships unless they are portrayed as negative, Zucest, Tyzula, Maizula, Azuki, most Toph ships, Jetara, Jetkka, Sokkla, Urzai, and Maiko.

Please feel free to follow me even if you don’t like all my ships, or if you do like some of my NOTPs. As long as you filter the tags, we will all be happy.

You can find me on Pillowfort here.

Putting together a Pride playlist for myself that includes every queer identity I know about and being foiled because apparently there exist no intersex songs AT ALL.

Pros of being on vacation: I’m on vacation.

Cons of being on vacation: Two weeks of getting nothing done and probably making my readers mad at me.

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!

[libraford]

Two men in your neighborhood are married... to EACH OTHER? Congratulate them for exercising their AMERICAN RIGHT to follow the footsteps of our FOUNDING FATHERS! They've got a fully AMERICAN spirit of FREEDOM and REBELLION! GOD BLESS THE USA.

[libraford]

Your coworker has a different RELIGION from yours? Well, that's just INTERESTING and you should talk about it on your UNION-APPROVED LUNCH BREAK. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was FOUNDED on Freedom of Religion and ANYONE should be allowed to seek the AMERICAN DREAM!

[libraford]

You think someone might be in this GREAT country ILLEGALLY? NO YOU DON'T! No one is in this country illegally! The minute anyone steps on our SOVEREIGN SOIL they're your FELLOW AMERICAN and where they come from is NO ONES BUSINESS.

[rosslynpaladin]

it's funny yeah, but guys this is actually how you reach the people who prefer these terms to frame all things Good and Correct.

[questions-about-blorbos]

If your Blorbo were real, whether or not they would lie, could they have convinced you to GENUINELY believe their lies?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 5 days 23 hours

Every poll on this blog is about fictional characters only. This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds

I saw this ask before I say the notif which was very funny. And I do that all the time so I’m not going to hold it against you.

reminder that indigenous queer folks do not need to fit your colonial definitions or conceptions of queerness in order to be valid, worthy, and spectacular.

if your concept of what a lesbian looks like requires that all lesbians have shaved or short hair, then you’re excluding ntv lesbians who honour our ancestors by growing our hair long.

i’m no less of a butch for having hair that goes down to my tailbone. i’m no less of a butch for wearing my hair in a braid. i’m also still butch when i wear beaded earrings, a ribbon skirt, and moccasins.

if your idea of queerness is tied to whiteness, that’s just a shame. indigeneity and queerness go together like inhaling and exhaling. one cannot exist without the other.

“One of my mutuals/followers hasn’t liked a post of mine in a while clearly they hate me and want me dead” and other very normal thoughts RSD gives me.

[redbayly]

Man, I leave my computer for a few hours to eat dinner and watch old Scooby-Doo episodes and come back see my feed blowing up with stuff about a Zutara anti comparing Zuko to the KKK.

I mean, I'm not entirely surprised an anti took it this far, especially considering this particular anti's history and how antis, in general, have been spamming the tag with stuff about how Zutara is colonizer apologism. Still, not how I expected my Friday to end.

But as someone whose family actively took a stance against the hate-group mentioned, as the daughter of a former civil rights lawyer, the granddaughter of a man who got death threats for hiring black people at his business, the great-granddaughter of a man who threw his younger brother out of his house and completely cut off contact with him for joining that hate group, and the several-greats-granddaughter of an outspokenly abolitionist Union soldier, I feel it is my duty to say that this anti can go fuck themself.

The KKK (or, as my dad calls them, "the Kluckers") is not some little prop for your virtue-signaling jokes about how much you hate a fictional ship. They were and are a very real danger. A terrorist group that was propped up by institutional and systemic racism, founded by men who were so bitter over the loss of their legal ability to own other human beings that they channeled their hatred into intimidating and killing black Americans and any progressive white Americans who tried to support black Americans' rights or push for reforms.

The Fire Nation is fictional. Their crimes and atrocities are part of a show for children. Zuko isn't real. He's simply a character who is meant to show that good can be found in unexpected places and that it is possible to break free of prejudices, extreme nationalism, and the cycle of abuse.

There is no excuse in my mind, not a single one, that could ever justify bringing real-world evil like the KKK, the Holocaust, or the disgusting crimes being committed against Iran and Palestine into a disagreement about fictional ships from a kids' show.

Those topics might be appropriate for a discussion on how the show handles things like genocide, racism, or colonialism, and then only if they are treated with the seriousness that they deserve, but it is beyond being in poor taste to use them as fodder in a shipping war.

I'm not normally one to jump into situations like this. I try not to meddle or let my anger get the best of me, but there are some things I simply cannot stay silent about. And this...this really got under my skin. I don't know if it's the recent surge of hate in the Zutara tag that's been building up my frustration and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back, or just that this particular "bad joke" hit an especially sore spot for me.

With how I was raised, the KKK were always the real-life boogeyman. Even being white, I grew up terrified of them. I was afraid that they might come out of the woodwork and kill my classmates or neighbors just because of their skin color. At school, when learning about the Civil Rights Movement, I saw old photos of them marching around in those stupid white hoods and felt sick when I saw one picture of a baby whose shithead parents had dressed him in that hateful outfit.

I have tried to avoid being an angry person. I believe anger is a dangerous thing, especially because of how addictive it is. So, I do my best to stay calm and civil and respectful, even when things make me upset. But there is something about the KKK and other white supremacists that triggers a gut reaction of rage and revulsion in me.

So, again, I say to the anti who so casually injected this genuinely horrific example of real-world hate, violence, and bigotry into a "joke" about a fictional character: FUCK YOU!

On a more positive note, I want everyone to be aware that January 18th is a special day of commemoration for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. It honors the Battle of Hayes Pond, an event in which several hundred members of the Lumbee Tribe whooped ass on a gathering of KKK and got the entire hate group expelled from Robeson County and their leader, James "Catfish" Cole, arrested for inciting a riot.

STAY SAFE!! [ID: the Gilbert Baker pride flag with the words “Happy pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!” in all-caps black text over it. /end ID]

[poochosa]

my fav girl kisser👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

happy pride month!!🏳️‍🌈

[marshmellowtea]

this website is full of fucking liars i don't think any of you actually believe people can change or that punishment isn't the solution to ending harm i don't believe that at all

[marshmellowtea]

you can't fucking have "we are all born into a racist/sexist/queerphobic/etc world and thus we all have to unlearn that bigotry" and "it's perfectly fine for me to dig up old problematic posts or beliefs that someone used to have and demand they apologize for it otherwise they're bad forever (and even then they're still on thin ice)" at the same time and the solution to "people give white/cis/straight people a pass for past bad behavior more than their marginalized peers" is not to be harder on those who are "privileged" (or at least seen as such even when it's not entirely accurate to their circumstances) it's to stop fucking go after people and doing these weird stalkerish "background checks" in the first place because 90% what were seeing is not "consequences for bigoted behavior" it's just fucking harassment and i'm tired of it

[sweetpea67]

It’s Pride Month let’s goooo

[sweetpea67]

For smart people my parents are very uninformed sometimes.

[sweetpea67]

I think I would enjoy the start of Pride Month more if I didn’t have my parents currently hovering over my shoulder ready to fucking disown me the moment I suggest being queer is all right.

[sweetpea67]

I should write an essay on the similarities and differences regarding how Witches are portrayed in HTTYD, TWOO, and WWTA.
